If that infantryman really is drawing a bead on a sniper, then in that position he's a sitting or kneeling duck.

PAO puke: "Hey Joe, did you take out the sniper in that burning building over there?"
Joe: "Sure thing, bud."
PAO puke: "Show me how you did it so I can get a photograph. I'll put you in all the news papers. You'll be famous over night!"

They aren't aiming, the ones that are aiming have their heads down with cheek weld. The ones with head up are pointing. That's just a posed exit from a chopper anyway...just staged practice.

yes exactly clearly posed but the are practicing a skill which apparently taught much like the original picture - at this point I expect we all realize to take the captions with a grain of salt.
